"Ananonimity is really all you get with "b"koin's..."

Wrong!  Your trading is supposed to be reported, even if you don't do it youself.  A lot people are going to be facing stiff fines and penalties for believing as you do, if not also going to jail.

You may want your profits from faux money to be free, but they ain't.  You can, though, also write off losses to the extent of your profits.  But that also requires self reporting, a loss of anonimity.

I know this upsets a true Libertarian such as yourself, but I am a happier taxpayer when I see others paying their fair share, instead of keeping and hiding "free" money at my expense.
